Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing the spring, pin, rear hook, foot and catchplate. It is corroded, especially on the left wing and bow. The wings have moulded decoration: three ribs with intervening narrow grooves; the inner and probably the outer ribs have horizontal grooves to give a beaded effect. The bow has a slightly convex back and angled sides giving an almost triangular section. Along the centre a beaded rib is defined by single grooves (largely lost to corrosion but visible at the top). On the back of the bow foot a 12mm groove is probably the remains of the catchplate, most likely a sheet metal type which fitted into the slot in the bow. This suggests that the bow, which tapers to a blunt point, is only missing a small part of the foot. Surviving length 34.5mm, width 23mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
